Forums - Gaming - People owe ethomaz an apology.

No.

ethomaz predicted less than 3 Million PS4s sold.

And to add insult to injury.

ethomaz predicted 1.7 Million Xbox Ones sold.

To give props to someone who changes predictions so often is silly.

To give props to someone for being wrong is hilarious.

Why should we rub ethomaz's nuts for being wrong and flip flopping?

I don't think I doubted him, so how about no.



I was wrong too.

These 5 million was my prediction after the amazing launch sales of PS4... the previous estimates was way way low close to 3 million than 5 million.

I'm happy that PS4 did way better than I thought.

BTW anybody remember some site reporting "Sony expect to ship 16 million PS4 in the first year"? Everybody thought it was a mistake because the number was for combined PS3 + PS4 shipment? Well I guess this is estimate is true after all just for PS4.

I'm sorry you were wrong, ethomaz.


I was about to say the same thing. 5 million doesn't equal 4.2, given i don't think I was one of the people who doubted that ps4 would be sucessful. 

 

(I however did doubt the xbox one a lot, and still think it won't be that high)


4.2 as of Dec 28th.   ..there are still three unaccounted for days.  ;)

This ended quickly.



I am sorry both PS4 and X1 had great launches :).



Did ethomaz hire a defense attorney? He can speak for himself, LOL.

The idea that they could produce 5 million units in 6 weeks was always crazy. Even the 4.2 million they did sell was much higher than I expected. They may well have sold that many if they could produce them, but it simply wasn't possible.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

Well...that's that I guess. To add to that, the average amount that people thought the PS4 would sell is the same amount off from what ethomaz thought (after the first weeks sales). 



I'm sorry you were spot on and nobody made a thread congratulating you, Luthor.
